Aria Sb-CB

I know a few people here have and all say while it is a nice bass it's nothing compared to the japanese SB's. The CB is korean, the body shape is slightly different, it doesn't feel as solid, the neck is different, and the 6 way switch barely does anything. I used to have an 86 Elite II but that's all I've played and without a doubt was the most solid guitar I've played. I could smash a brick wall and the wall would break before the guitar.:bassist:Can't say how the SB-CB is. Also there was the SB1000CB which was japanese and was the same super high quality as the other SB's. It was a SB1000 in solid black, I don't know if anything was different but those are almost twice the price of the SB-CB.

The weird part is they made it a mix of the SB1000 and the Black N Gold. It has the electronics of the SB1000 but the neck/fretboard of the Black N Gold. And then they gave it black machine heads and a black bridge. Don't know where that came from cause neither of his had that.
